DIRECTOR'S NOTE
The long and arduous road to bring Sunday in the Park back after its abrupt cancellation last spring has been a labor of love. The story of an artist struggling to find his voice and vision while yearning for balance and connection in his life seems even more poignant today. Finding ways to tell this story and fill this plaza with music has been a gift and we are thrilled to share it with all of you. “Art isn’t easy,” but “Anything you do let it come from you then it will be new. Give us more to see...”
-Jay Berkow
